Questions from Pitshanger
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Barnabas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Pitshanger?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What if the service runs late?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that’s common.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Build in time for delays
- Plan seating for older guests
We serve when people are ready.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
